Can you get frostbite from being outsite for 15 - 20 minutes when it is 25 to 27 degrees out side?

I would honestly doubt it.

you can start to get frostbite as I've been told

not really

if your like....NAKED.....

Well not if you are wearing gloves and a jacket!!!

no wayyyyyyyy

25-27 below zero I guarentee you can get frostbite in 15-20 mins. If there is the slightest wind, less then then that. Being properly dressed is the key. Plenty of experience at those temps. Very cold. It was -34 here this morning.

When I was living in Wisconsin, we had temps as low as -50. You just don't go out at those temps.

Depends on what kind of degrees Celsius or Farenheit?

Frostbite

This article is about a medical condition. For tBe aware of factors that can contribute to frostbite, such as extreme cold, wet clothes, wind chill, and poor circulation. This can be caused by tight clothing or boots, cramped positions, fatigue, certain medications, smoking, alcohol use, or diseases that affect the blood vessels, such as diabetes.

Wear suitable clothing in cold temperatures and protect susceptible areas. In cold weather, wear mittens (not gloves); wind-proof, water-resistant, many-layered clothing; two pairs of socks (cotton next to skin, then wool); and a scarf and a hat that cover the ears (to avoid substantial heat loss through the scalp).

Before anticipated prolonged exposure to cold, don't drink alcohol or smoke, and get adequate food and rest.

If caught in a severe snowstorm, find shelter early or increase physical activity to maintain body warmth

Frostbite
Classifications and external resources
Hands, feet, noses, and ears are most likely to be affected by frostbite
ICD-10 T33-T35
ICD-9 991.0-991.3
Frostbite (congelatio in medical terminology) is the medical condition whereby damage is caused to skin and other tissues due to extreme cold. At or below 15掳 C (59掳 F), blood vessels close to the skin start to narrow (constrict). This helps to preserve core body temperature. In extreme cold or when the body is exposed to cold for long periods, this protective strategy can reduce blood flow in some areas of the body to dangerously low levels. The combination of cold temperature and poor blood flow can cause tissue injury. Frostbite is most likely to happen in body parts farthest from the heart, and those with a lot of surface area exposed to cold. These areas include the toes, fingers, ears and nose. It is related, but not identical, to hypothermia. The early stages of frostbite are sometimes called "frostnip".

I am routinely out in 17 to 0 degree temperatures, and I can say without a doubt 20 minutes is not enough time to get frostbite at 27 degrees. Frostbite is defined as the body鈥檚 inability to compensate for cold exposure, that produces injury. A decrease in temperature is not the only factor that causes frostbite. Time of exposure, humidity, wind, clothing, a past history of certain medical conditions, and behavior may all be contributing factors. Ethnic origin may be another; for example, individuals who have for generations made their homes in a temperate climates as opposed to individuals from colder environmental regions such as Alaska, who are acclimatized to the cold.

Frostbite can be classified in different degrees or stages, much like burns. 1st degree frostbite shows partial skin redness (erythema), swelling, usually no blisters. Symptoms include burning or throbbing pain. Stinging is sometimes reported by some patients. 2nd degree is redness. Sometimes vesicles and blisters are seen. These blisters can form a blackened area on the skin. Numbness is a symptom often seen. 3rd degree burns are much deeper, where there is full-thickness freezing of the skin, with hemorrhagic blisters. There can be some skin death. Symptoms include feeling of no sensation, burning, throbbing and aching
4th degree frostbite is the most severe state. It is usually full-thickness, involving muscle, tendons and bones. There is minimal swelling. At this point, these look very mummified. Pain at the joints is a possible symptom. This system of classification has received widespread use, especially by emergency rooms.

Hard to tell from the information you gavebut from the information I found it is possible. You didn't say what the wind chill was, age of person outside or if they are used to a colder climate.............
Frostbite is caused by exposure to cold temperatures. The temperature does not necessarily need to be below freezing for injury to occur. Understand the prevailing weather conditions. Remember not only air temperature but wind speed effects how quickly frostbite can occur.
The elderly, young children, people with circulator disorders, and people from tropical climates have a higher risk factor of getting frostbite. People who have had previous cold injuries are also particularly at risk of getting injuries again in the same places.

No, read The Childrens Blizzard...true story about school children who froze in a blizzard...then you will understand frostbite.
